Panasonic ZS100 Walkthrough

- This video is going over the layout of the Panasonic ZS100 (or TZ100, TZ110). This is to help those who have purchased the camera, either to introduce them to the buttons and doors, or for someone who has already had the camera but needed a reminder. The more you know, the less you will feel intimidated with the available settings and features! I also have photo and video examples from the camera at the beginning of the walkthrough!
If you have questions I did not answer, please let me know in the comments below!

I wish there were videos like yours for all cameras, it would make life much easier, thank you.
I am definitely working on it! :) Are there any specific models you would like to see? I would be happy to add them to my list if I can get my hands on them!
The best review Award goes to Shutterbug 101 …round applause everyone!
THANK YOU! I just bought this camera last week (March 2024) and moved from a Canon to a Panasonic and didn't want to go thru the huge book that came with this camera.
Thank you Heather and Shutterbug 101. I recommend to anyone with LUMIX ZS100 to see your video first. It is the best ZS100 instructional video ever made; better than the actual Owner's Manual by Panasonic. I wish it was twice as long and included additional, detailed description of MENU/SET tabs and types mentioned by Heather in brief, such as [Setup] and [Custom]. I would love to learn from Heather what's behind each available option, and what they do, and don't do. For example, what is MF Assist Display PIP, Cust.Set Mem. and many other modes, hiding behind abbreviations and acronyms. But most of all, thank you for a job well done.
It is on my to do list! Thank you for watching!
Completely agree with the comments below. Such a clear presentation with the correct flow. Starts with basics and then moves progressively through more niche aspects. So much better than the manual. Panasonic should hire shutterbug to do official videos for them. Bottom Line: If you buy this camera, watch this presentation first before you even open the package. You will have so much more confidence in using it. Thanks Shutterbug!
Thank you for all the time you have spent putting this together. You have already helped me to understand this camera. You certainly did not make me feel like an idiot.
This presentation is outstanding. The best I've come across. Thank you so much!
This is the best video I have seen on any piece of equipment on you tube that I have personally watched. There is very little that I could not find here. Better information than was provided by Panasonic as far as I can see. I think I will be referring back to this a bunch of times. I am going to be looking back at other work you are doing. Amazing job!
Excellent video, thank you. I have been struggling with the user manual and getting nowhere. Your video explains the camera in a straight forward and uncomplicated way.
Perfect just what I was looking for.
Have you ever thought of doing more in depth videos? I would definitely pay for more detailed explanations. Your style of teaching is very easy to follow. I was very into 35 mm photography about 40 years ago and was feeling a little overwhelmed until your video. Edited for spelling.
Got this camera out after not using it for a few years and your video really helped me get back on my feet with it. Thank you!
This was the best video i found about this camera. Just got it yesterday for birthday and felt kinda overwhelmed about the settings but you made it so simple and understandable. Thank you for the video! :)
This is a Brilliant Video. Learned a lot. I recently sold my TZ100 got the TZ200 now I am back to the TZ100 as the pictures in low light are much better. Only advantage with TZ200 is the slightly larger zoom and better Quality viewfinder overall the TZ100 out performs the TZ200 in my Opinion.
I have this camera and it is my go to camera for taking anywhere, good quality, easy to use, great for travel. I wanted a point and shoot with a viewfinder, so far after a couple of years I am very happy with it, good video, thank you.
Exactly what I was looking for! I found the instruction manual very over whelming - thank you!
I have had the camera a number of years and really needed your video. Thank you so much for the clear explanation and tutorial.
Thank you so much. This explained so much. I got the z60 and I was so overwhelmed with all of the features. This was perfect.
I just got this camera. Your presentation was fantastic! I am overwhelmed with all the information presented, but I will watch this video multiple times to absorb what was presented. I am excited to start using this camera.
Bought my ZS100 two years ago, found the menus confusing, and put it away. Bought a Canon G5 X Model I for its better controls, but it’s images are inferior. Returned it, got the ZS100 out of the drawer, watched your video, and I’m ready to go!
Had mine since 2016. Can’t see ever getting rid of it. Great camera
Outstanding video. Extremely helpful to a beginner much like myself. The most valuable part was the stuff "I could ignore for now" as well as "buttons I might accidentally hit that will screw everything up". One minor, minor suggestion. Cut the background music. It's a bit distracting to the very helpful information that you provide.
Thank you! I have adjusted the music on my new videos so it is not distracting and just a background element. This channel has definitely been a learning experience!
Thank you, Heather. I just got this camera and your video was very helpful. I appreciate how well you went through all the settings and features. I will be checking out more of your videos for sure!
lt has a viewfinder, manual mode for long exposure night photography, good zoom range, shoots RAW, and it's small. This may be the one for me. Thanks for the video.
It shoots raw?! That's highly beneficial to other point and shoots
I've had this camera for a few years and I needed to watch your great walkthrough to remind me of how awesome this ZS100 is! Thanks!
I just purchased this camera yesterday, and reading through the manual was a nightmare. THANK YOU so much for making things understandable. Now that I understand the camera a little more, I need to watch your video again!
I just purchased this camera and your video has been the best for getting an understanding of the basic functions. Thanks for doing it! Next is to start going through the manual to discover all the other settings that I can experiment with but because of your help, I can start shooting NOW.
Wow, incredible video of information for amateurs. I've had my camera for four years and stumbled through 4 years of trying to figure out the operational mode. I have watched this video twice and will probably watch it 10 more times. Awesome job! Thank you so much!!!!!
Great instructional video on this camera. Only disagreement was when you said this is 'a simple camera'. Having spent 1.5 hrs trying to 'un-gray' the digital zoom, I was about to list camera online. But when you mentioned re-set function of settings, I tried these. And voila the digital zoom function appeared again. Great video.
I just got this camera, and, this video is the best I have seen on all the features and how to use it. Thanks for a great presentation, no obnoxious music or extreanous chat.
Thank you such excellent description of how this camera works & all of its features & functions. I just purchased this had the earlier model that broke this one was very different & if it wasn't for you I would have never figured out how to close the flash I thought it would have automatically closed. I looked on several sites & you tube & you Rock & the best i have ever come by cant' thank you enough
Thank you for this video. I know nothing about cameras and this literally breaks everything down into a very understandable way. This has really helped me know how to use a camera with so many features and options
Agreeing with Roy Below. I'm only 5 minutes in, and I can tell you are presenting well and concisely. I'm going to need the full overview because, for god's sake, cannot even get the flash to work. Reading the manual...I'd just as soon put needles in my eyes. I'm only 5 minutes in, but I'll finish with the hope of taking a flash hi-res photo after the tutorial.
Thanks for this much needed video. I have this camera coming in tomorrow, this is a big help. Great timing.
Thank you so much, this video helped me way more than the people in the store where I bought my camera!!!
I just got this camera and your video convinced me to keep it. I know it’s a great camera but it appeared difficult. Not with your explanation. Thank you so much.
Glad I found this video, now I understand the workings of my camera and can use it properly. Thank you 😀
My camera just arrived without a manual so this is fantastic!!! Thank you!
This is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, incredibly valuable!
Terrific overview. Thank you. I will attempt to find your video instructions for connecting to wifi, blue tooth, smartphone or pc
This video was helpful! I got this camera for Christmas and am new to photography! Thank you for making it!
Thanks for this video. I bought this camera a week ago. Although I have experience with several cameras over a long period of time, this video saved me a lot of time in guiding me through the features of this camera. A great way to present things. Many thanks! ❤
Very helpful I have had my camera recently repaired and thought I should understand more in how it actually works so thanks for the information set out in simple terms better than the huge Panasonic manual which I got bored of reading and is ok if you are a pro photographer but not so good for the layman.
great vid - will need to watch several times for everything to sink in!!
Hello Heather, came across your video as a UA-cam recommendation. Direct & to the point which I don't get very much. I have ZS 100 & still learning. Use it more than my Sony a7iiii.
What an excellent, unpretentious, clear walk through.
Thank you so much. Best wishes from the UK. ✊
Excellent Video!! Thank you for showing the Reset mode. It's exactly what I needed.
Excellent and very informative video! Thank you. Now I can make better use of my Panasonic camera.
Thanks for this video! I have the printed manual and a book I bought, but your video has made it much easier!
WOW thank you so much . i have over the years tried to find an easy to understand but compehensive covering everything - resource for my panasonic. i could not understand teh manual becasue it was so technical and does not explain why and when ( and how) to use the different settings . I was getting fed up with it as did not seem as good as my simple point and shoot camera but now thanks to your well thought out and clearly explained video and your in depth knowledge I understand how to get the best out of it. If only I had seen this video when i first bought it . Brilliant ! Thank you so much for enabling me to now get interested and more confident in knowledgeably using the features and not just treating it as a point and shoot.
Its you not Panasonic that has shown me its wonderful features . Thank you so much for all the time and effort in making this availabe - for free .
thank you so much! I've had this camera for a while and needed some help with it. This was perfect!
This is a wonderful review of the ZS100! I will be returning to it often...
Thanks for the Video. This was really helpful compared to the Instruction manual.
Thanks for this fabulous video that help tremendously with this point and shoot!!!!
This is just quality content. Thanks
Just ordered this camera and was glad to find this video.
Are you going to use it for vlogging purpose?? I’m thinking for vlogging
Just wanted a good pocketable camera for travel that was better than a phone camera.
This camera does great video but doesn’t have a tilting screen which makes it a little more difficult to vlog. If your looking for an inexpensive vlogging camera option, I would look into the Panasonic ZS80.
@@Shutterbug101 You're really paying for the tilting screen with the ZS80 - costs as much or more than the ZS100, but only has a 1/2.3 sensor. The one-inch sensor is one of the features that makes the ZS100 worth the price, IMO. It is a tough choice, because the ability to see yourself while vlogging is critical. Personally I use a less expensive camera when I want to be able to video myself while moving, and will be using the ZS100 for almost everything else. I just picked up the ZS100 since there are incentives now - bundle deals and the free 3-year extended warranty. OUTSTANDING VIDEO - thanks!
Excellent video. My camera is this model, but it doesn't have this functionality, perhaps because it's old.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video! I'm really nervous about getting started and you helped me ease the anxiety a bit with your super sweet and and simple overview. Thank you!!!
Awesome walk through of all the features and menu. Thanks
Excellent video! Learned a lot about my camera.
Thanks so much for your help
.transferes pics to.my tablet this morning..so easy. Pansdonic should sign you up to write the manual..Happy mew year 😄😄
Excellent, really clear, thorough and practical. Thank you.
Great explanation of camera functions. Had a hard time keeping up with you. Also, the background music was very distracting for me and wished I could have turned it off. Thank YOU.
I have definitely changed music option and have drastically turned it down in new videos, learning as I go!
Added back in my cart, interesting little camera
Thanks for the walk through. Great video!!
Please explain how to adjust A & S etc in M mode. Thanks
In manual mode, you are still limited to settings, but to change A or S, you can do it by touch screen or by the wheel on top and around the directional pad.
Thanks so much for your work on this Heather. I know it has been a while but I just bought a ZS100 and have a question. Near the 19:10 on your video, we see the square or square corners, and they become yellow at one point. You can move your square around. Might you be able to explain what this is and whether you can keep the square in the center of the camera? I know the size of the square can be changed and on my camera I see Disp Reset on the bottom left.
“You might get your nose print on it.”
Don’t make me laugh now.😂
I just got a zs100. This is really helpful!
very helpful but I still need to practice. lots of menues!
How do you select the color in the One Point Color mode, at 10:51.
Hello.. does the zs100 have a minimum shutter speed setting or something similar to it? How can I have a high shutter speed while keeping my ISO as low as possible... is that possible?
Great Question! The minimum shutter speed can go as low as 30 seconds long. As for a high speed setting while keeping the ISO low, you will need as much light as you can in the area you are photographing. The less light there is, the higher your ISO will need to be to keep the speed high.
Thanks so much Heather...that was perfect! 👍
Can this camera keep recording while charging? I bought the camera today and I'm basically learning about how it works, to be prepared when it arrives😊
Unfortunately this Panasonic camera doesn’t offer charging while using, only when it is turned off.
This is an excellent video and I wish that the information which Panasonic provides was even half as good. Thank you. I have a problem, however, which you rather skated over. This is getting to HDR. On my camera in the Camera Settings window it shows under Post Focus the bars for iHandheld Night Shot, iHDR and HDR as grey; when I try to open any of these the display immediately jumps to Time Lapse Shot. What I am doing wrong?
Not sure if my tz100 has problem. I can't set the ring to adjust the focusing peak...
Thank you so much for this wonderful review :)
Ditto to all the positive comments you are received
How good would it be in nighttime photography like walking the streets, alley ways and so on great video lots of information ❤
Amazing video! Super helpful. Thanks
What would you recommend the settings for filming a concert in a small club with very fast moving lights? Also you mentioned. Having the ability to change the settings on the microphone. I didn’t see where and how to access that. I would be trying to set the microphone to a very low setting as to not overload and distort the audio. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Thank you! For filming a concert, I would use frame rate 60p if there are fast moving lights and avoid the zoom to take advantage of a wide aperture for more light intake. As for the mic, you have to be in your video mode on the dial, go to the video tab in the menu and scroll down to see Mic Level display (turn it on) and Mic Level Adjust to avoid those peaking areas.
Thanks for the reply. Filmed the show already. Came out excellent. I was able to have an external audio source to synch with.
I want to know how to fix my camera while I took video at night. It's very dark when I record my camera. How to adjust the dark to normal. Thanks
Hello! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you! For this camera, you are very limited in low light situations. So in the case of video at night, you may just need to manually enter in more lighting. Here is a video showing how your sensor size can be the culprit of that: ua-cam.com/video/kdnWb0pHF5c/v-deo.htmlsi=GzMTYQtASA9ZdvJI
I didn’t watch the whole video since I haven’t bought the camera yet. Just wondering if you had to
Choose only 1 to keep (100 or 200) which would you keep? I’m having a hard time deciding which to get! I wish they could
Have kept the 2.8 with the 200 because I like the idea of the longer zoom and the better grip.
Thanks for the great video!
I have got this camera on trial for a week.
I was especially interested in the HDR with a quality lens, but I am disappointed
, because the photo's seem to loose a lot of sharpness. I don't think the camera makes the HDR with a lighting bracket.
Can you tell me a little about this?
I do not typically recommend using HDR on the small ones in high highlight, low shadow situations. It’s quite a small sensor for it to find a good balance. Have you compared using HDR vs without? If this is a loaned camera, I would go and reset the settings because the previous user may have made changes that are effecting the way you capture negatively
Hi. Thanks for the run through. I’m used to a DSLR so I’m finding these menus kind of complicated! I don’t seem to have 1-point color mode and I just purchased the camera. Any idea why?
Are you in your Painters Palate mode?
Great Video---helped me very much. Will watch again :) I have a question: is there a way to add the date to the picture/JPG filename automatically? I like to show my travel pictures in an electronic picture frame chronologically.
Thank you for your excellent re-introduction to my ZS 100 which I've owned for 4-5 years. Just returned from a trip to Cuba and discovered I can't upload my digital pics from the ZS-100 to my desktop. It's a mystery. Could you possibly help me with a guide, or a reference to a guide, I can download and follow. I need to re-install the software apparently but I don't know where to find it. Many thanks for your "walkthrough". Charles
Great video. Well done ! Respect
Should the SD card be formatted first - how is it done- Thanks
If the card is brand new out of the package, it should be okay. But if the card was previously used in a different model, formatting would be ideal as long as you do not want the photos on the card any longer or you have made sure to back them up. You will go into the Menu > wrench tab > down the pages until you see format.
Hi, my Tz100 wich looks the same always makes stupid moving photos but I want still "normal" photos that I can print. I cannot get away from video unless I chose panarama. Do you know the fix for this as I am about to throw this camera out of the window? Thank you.
Hi I have this camera, I’ve hooked it up to the computer using a capture card and then onto OBS to record. I’ve checked the Panasonic website and it says it has a clean hdmi output. But when I have it on the computer it displays the icons on the right of the screen. Is there a setting to remove this and have a clean image on obs? Great video helped me a lot . Thanks.
Thank you, this is an excellent summary, and I agree with the recent comments, eg @veld..... However the background music is awful, very distracting, when you are trying to concentrate on the walk-through.
Hey there, if I need a camera for work. All I need is a point and shoot. I need to take pictures rather fast between one pic and another. And I need it to be ok taking pictures in dark places like inside the kitchen cabinets when there’s no power in the house. Would this camera do?
This would do okay but is not the best option for houses without power. I would recommend a Sony RX100 or the Panasonic LX10
WOW…Brilliant. Thank you
Thanks... very informative
WOW what a really useful guide. Im an experienced photographer and wanted to get away with a bulky DSLR . Really love the camera but with 2 drawbacks. The full user guide is 406 pages and as for the wifi transer dont bother. I couldnt work it out rang Panasonic support and got absolutely nowhere. Ive passed it up as a complaint. To get round this Ive got an SD card reader and and OTG cable to I can download to my phone and Tablet. as I said the instructions for the wifi are complicated beyond belief. the Image App is even worse, no wonder its got a dreadul review on PlayStore
has anyone else had problems with this. Fairly new to UA-cam,, any help would be appreciated
thanks and thanks again for a really useful video
Michael
It is tricky to get it connected the first time around but maybe this will help: ua-cam.com/video/Bnik3B9H-Js/v-deo.html
Let me know if you have any questions!
@@Shutterbug101 thanks SO MUCH I will have a go and let you know
I have the image app on my tabet and phone.. is this what you use ??
(Happy new year 😄😄 )
Yes the Panasonic Image app is the proper application:)
It worked.....
😆😆😆
thank you
When I use trash can button at shooting mode, the screen has top line selections. But why I don’t have flash light option show up on 2nd from the left (empty space on 2nd selection from the left)
What mode are you in? If you are in auto or a scene mode, it doesn’t give you all the options in your quick menu. Try switching to P mode and that should fix the issue
Awesome tutorial 👌
How can I transfer my pictures from my camera to my iPhone?
Here you go!

Your video has helped me a lot! But somehow I shot a whole day in MP4 and I need to convert it to JPG. Is there a way I can do that on the camera?
I am completely new to these kind of cameras. I want to learn how to take low light pictures and sunrise/sunset pics. I am outside a lot in the evenings with our cows and so many beautiful pic opportunities come up. What settings on this camera do I use to take lowlight pics? You mentioned something about that but this is completely new to me.
While you adjust working with your new camera, leave it on the iA mode, you would be surprised how well it does. Adjusting settings before you fully understand what they do and how it effects your photos will drive you away from it.
